Don't know why those fuckers banned me. They keep muting me when I ask why. I think it's because they assumed I was there for recreational advice. Anyways...

I'm diagnosed with ADHD and have prescriptions for dexies and vyvanse. However, I've lately wondered if I'm using it for the "right reasons". I struggle with depression which causes low energy and brain fog, and sometimes it feels like the only reason I take these meds is just to give me energy to get out of bed and be awake enough throughout the day. But surely that's not how it's meant to be used, right? Or is it?

I do believe I have ADHD, but on the days where I have enough natural energy positive mood, it feels like I don't even need them. This leads me to questions whether or not it's just the depression that makes me need to take the meds, so that I'm in essence just "self-medicating".

If that were to be the case, how would it really differ from me buying illegal street speed and using that medicinally so that I can function like everyone else can?

Does this make any sense?

Thanks heaps.
